The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 1

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 1

Leo Frank - Preface to the Secret Relationship Series.
"We have no documentable evidence of antisemitism on the part of the Nation of Islam movement or Elijah Mohammed" - Arnold Foster - Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith.

In 1991, the Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan, national representative of the most Honorable Elijah Mohammed and the Nation of Islam (N.O.I.) released the first of several volumes in the scholarly series titled the secret relationship between Blacks and Jews. Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam hold the theological belief that black people of America are the real children of Israel and that those who claim to be Jews are in error. He further states that the Jewish people are among the historical white oppressors of black people and that the special relationship they claim to have formed with some black leaders is deceptive, exploitative and deleterious to black independence and black progress.

In its 334 pages, the Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, Volume One, veracity of the Minister's position is conclusively proved, revealing that Jews were in fact at the very center of the transatlantic slave trade. In the American Civil War, Jews had joined the Southern Confederacy as strategists, financiers, and soldiers willing to die and kill to maintain black slavery. Today, the Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews can be found in the collections of every major academic library, including those of every Ivy League college and university. New evidence that challenges and corrects the prevailing interpretations of the history of blacks and Jews in the post slavery American South.

The research confirms that after the emancipation of black slaves, Jews helped create and defend the racially oppressive Jim Crow system in the American South and were among the leading traders in America's cotton economy. The American labor movement is shown to have had deep Jewish roots and a devastating long term effect on black economic progress. The first two volumes of The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews contain nearly 1000 pages of research that uncovers a history of oppression Jews had successfully kept hidden from view. The present third volume in the series, The Leo Frank Case The Lynching of a Guilty Man, examines a tragic incident, largely unknown to most American blacks, but reverentially regarded by American Jews.

That incident occurred in Atlanta, Georgia between 1913 and 1915, and involved a B'nai Brith leader and factory manager named Leo Max Frank. The case became an international cause celebra for Jews, most of whom believed Frank was the victim of antisemitism. For 100 years, Jews have insisted that the Leo Frank case is emblematic of their history of suffering and victimization in America. Moreover, the case so profoundly affected the relationship blacks had with American Jews that it can be said that before the Leo Frank affair, the Jews were the black man's open enemy.

After the Leo Frank affair, Jews were the black man's best friend. Indeed, the Leo Frank case is that pivotal point in black history, when the Jews' history of slave trading, ownership of cotton, sugar and tobacco plantations, Ku Klux Klan terrorism and Jim Crow apartheid was deliberately replaced with a new narrative of shared persecution, civil rights coalition and political common cause. Consequently, an honest assessment of the black Jewish relationship must include a comprehensive examination of the Leo Frank case and its profound effect on both blacks and Jews. Significantly, the Jewish demand that scholars focus on the Leo Frank case history leads to an unanticipated treasure trove of unexplored records and documents that unlock the most confidential operations of the Jews highest leadership circles.

As the Jewish people united in the international fight to overturn Leo Frank's murder conviction, the Leo Frank case offers a unique window into the thinking and strategizing by the leadership of the Jewish people. Leo Frank was not of the rank and file Jewish citizenry. But the Leo Frank trial and conviction set up a showdown like no other in Gentile-Jewish history and relations.

All the major Jewish leaders in banking, media, clergy, law, business and politics mounted a massive operation to free Leo Frank, and the racial ruthlessness of their efforts is laid bare through a massive cache of documents, including personal letters, rabbinical sermons, official reports, interview transcripts, legal filings and newspaper reports. The case is further marred by the academic world's willful concealment of this damning evidence as a deception that continues to this very moment from the trial of Leo Frank in 1913 to his lynching two years later. No other example exists that so publicly pitted Jews and White Gentiles against each other in a test of wills like the Leo Frank case. Jews practically demand that the outside world investigate the case to draw an accurate portrait of the American Jewish identity, how they have suffered and overcome racial and religious persecution.

The case is the central pillar of Jewish American identity.
